Pochettino has doubts about the Serbian but the Blues have to solve the problem relating to the Belgian: the distance of the equalizer is reduced
The new contacts between Juventus e Chelsea for the exchange Dusan Vlahovic-Romelu Lukaku they have reduced the distance for the adjustment that the bianconeri are asking for: the gap remains wide, higher than 10 million euros, but it is getting thinner day by day as evidence of the willingness of the two companies to conclude the deal. Not a small detail given that Mauricio Pochettino is not fully convinced of the compatibility of the Serbian attacker in his project to rebuild the Blues but at the same time the English want to close quickly, and this time definitively, the relationship with Lukaku (requested directly by Massimiliano Allegri): this is why the Argentine coach at the end he will have to make Vlahovic go well.
At an economic level, progress was made yesterday between Juve and Chelsea: the Bianconeri, reports La Stampa, dropped from 40 million euros to 30 million plus 5 of bonus while the Blues have risen to just over 20 million, bonuses included. The distance is not one that can be zipped up in a few hours but neither is it impossible to bridge, which is why there is still a certain optimism between the parties. No problem, however, between Juve and Lukaku, with the former Inter ready to sign a three-year deal worth 8 million net per season plus bonuses.

Today Chelsea resume training and Big Rom, as happened during the team’s American tour, should train separately with reservations and undesirables (including Hakim Ziyech). Another sign of how both the striker and Pochettino and the club consider the adventure to be over: the deal with Juve and Vlahovic may not be the Argentine coach’s preferred path but it seems the only passable to close the case.
The other Blues hope is that the Bavaria Monaco, given Tottenham’s intransigence on Harry Kane, you knock on Juve’s door for Vlahovic: at that point the black and whites, with the money collected by the Bavarians, would immediately go to London to collect Lukaku for about forty million. Option not to be discarded but currently in the background.
